Hi

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

“Soooo you mean to tell me that someone down your ancestry line survived being chained to other human bodies for several months in the bottom of a disease-infested ship during the Middle Passage, lost their language, customs and traditions, picked up the English language as best they could while working free of charge from sunup to sundown as they watched babies sold from out of their arms and women raped by ruthless slave owners.

Took names with no last names, no birth certificates, no heritage of any kind, braved the Underground Railroad, survived the Civil War to enter into sharecropping... Learned to read and write out of sheer will and determination, faced the burning crosses of the KKK, everted their eyes at the black bodies swinging from ropes hung on trees... Fought in World Wars as soldiers to return to America as boys, marched in Birmingham, hosed in Selma, jailed in Wilmington, assassinated in Memphis, segregated in the South, ghettoed in the North, ignored in history books, stereotyped in Hollywood... and in spite of it all someone in your family line endured every era to make sure you would get here and you receive one rejection, face one obstacle, lose one friend, get overlooked, and you want to quit? How dare you entertain the very thought of quitting. People, you will never know survived from generation to generation so you could succeed. Don’t you dare let them down!

Give this to your young people who don’t know their history and want to get weak!

It is NOT in our DNA to quit!”

@screenjiver @bayraktar_1love They broadcast it weekly in America.

Why is it that whenever there is a video of police officers "doing their job", it is the most preposterous thing the nation has seen that week? #PelosiBodyCamFOOTAGE #TyreNicholsVideo

The #Oscars2023 exclude talented minorities and movies every year and everyone thinks something will change next year? This is what they do and who they are ya'll. #OscarNominations2023 #Oscars

On October 12 in Columbus OH, 36 year old Krieg Butler Sr. stopped his truck, got out & shot 13 year old Sinzae Reed in the back multiple times, killing him. Then he got back in his truck and drove away. The murderer is a free man today.

Please be respectful when talking about the Queen. She was a head of state, a monarch, a mother to multiple pedophiles and most importantly a devoted cousin to her husband

I would imagine God isn't too much into racism but that's just me imagining things... #RIPQueen

The MAGA folks worry that if the FBI can search Trump’s home, they could be next. But they never worry that if the police can shoot Breonna Taylor in her own home, they could shoot them dead, too.

See the disconnect?

Did you know Sesame Street was originally created for black and brown inner city kids?

I don’t understand how COVID is still spiking after we’ve tried everything from pretending it’s over to pretending it never happened
